In order to allow telescopic moving, when convex surfaces 96 during around pin axis P rotation, actuator 82 is towards inner sheath 14 rotations, this make ratchet 56 around pin axis P away from inner sheath 14 rotations, so that the tooth 72 of ratchet 56 tooth 16 from inner sheath 14 is broken away from.Because the convex surfaces 96 of pivot pin 40 causes actuator 82 rotary pawls 56, thereby ratchet 56 is engaged and to break away from the required power of inner sheath 14 less.
Only for purpose of explanation, with reference to figure 5-7, the operation of blocking device 20 will be discussed hereinafter.For the position of fixed-direction dish, rod member 102 rotates to latched position (Fig. 5) around pin axis P from unlocked position (Fig. 7).When rod member 102 rotations, pivot pin 40 is around pin axis P rotation, and this will make the convex surfaces 96 direction rotation identical with the direction of rod member 102 rotations around pin axis P edge.The flat surface 94 of convex surfaces 96 engages actuator 82, and the opening 68 of engagement pawl 56 not, this make actuator 82 under the situation of rotary pawl 56 not around pin axis P along and the identical direction rotation of direction of rod member 102 rotations.
Bar 50 in the line of rabbet joint 48 of first supporting member 42 and second supporting member 44 longitudinally axis L move, be used to allow the line of rabbet joint 90 of actuator 82,92 and the elongated hole 70 of ratchet 56 across longitudinal axes L and move along bar 50 across ground each other, this causes the opposite sense rotary pawl 56 of actuator 82 along rod member 102 again.More specifically, when actuator 82 during along the direction rotation identical with rod member 102, ratchet 56 is along the direction rotation opposite with actuator 82 and rod member 102.Ratchet 56 rotates to predetermined midway location (Fig. 6), rest in the drg 73 and in abutting connection with the shoulder 74 of ratchet 56 at this position bar 50, this allows retracing spring 76 that the tooth 16 that the tooth 72 of ratchet 56 rotates to be with inner sheath 14 is aligned, and rotates to engage position.In other words, especially when the indented joint of tooth top-tooth top took place, the shoulder 74 of ratchet 56 prevented that actuator 82 from forcing ratchet 56 to enter engage position, and allowed ratchet 56 moving with respect to the tooth 16 of inner sheath 14.In addition, the tooth 16 of shoulder 74 compensation actuators 82 of ratchet 56, bar 50, inner sheath 14, and the production tolerance between the tooth 72 of ratchet 56.Yet, will be appreciated that drg 73 and shoulder 74 also can compensate other tolerance.
In case ratchet 56 rotates to engage position (Fig. 5), the tooth 72 of ratchet 56 just engages the tooth 16 of inner sheath 14, is used to prevent telescopic moving.As is known to the person skilled in the art, in rod member 102 rotations, the sawtooth 38 of tilt lock mechanism 106 splice holder 34 is to prevent to tilt to move.
Described the present invention in the mode of explanation, what it should be understood that is that employed term is intended to have literal description and unrestricted character.It will be apparent for a person skilled in the art that now that according to above-mentioned instruction many modifications of the present invention and modification are possible.Therefore, it should be understood that within the scope of the appended claims that the present invention can be different from concrete described mode and implement.
